Campers are tested for fitness at the beginning of the camp and are put into camps based upon their fitness. The core exercises of a typical fitness camp are running, performing push-ups and interval training which is doing exercises with little rest in between them. The camp atmosphere pressurizes the individual leading to faster results in terms of fat-burning. The strictness of the instructors varies and many instructors are more encouraging than intimidating. So a boot camp encourages a person to push his/her limits a little further and efficiently burn fat.
